Hey, guys I was reading metals post on redoing the interior of our cars in Suede,

i was wondering what tools or products are needed.

I picked up the grey and black suede in Peru for really cheap and gonna start when I get back.

What do you need to do to prep the surface?

I seen that metal split the doors in half, I know that there are blue plastic rivits that hold the 2 pieces together I was wondering how would you put the 2 pieces back together after its broken?


What type of UV spray did he use so it wouldnt fade.

I know only metal can answer these questions but his mainbox is always full.

 

Bump, I got 12.5 meters of suede, is that enough to do my doors roof rear deck,

 

maybe headliner and deck but prob not doors

I'll chime in on this later on tonight.

 

Thanks Metal, I think im gonna pick up an extra 5 meters of fabric today, I want to wrap the doors like you did, suede top painted bottom.

 

so i got a total of 17.5 meters long, by 2 meters wide,

 

bump metal updates?

 

where did you buy the suede is it real or synthetic

 

Its real, I bought it in Peru, I just got back to hawaii last night, it was alot cheaper than ordering it online.

 

how much did you pay for it

 

I don't think the doors go back together after they have been taken apart. I could be wrong.

 

you have to pop the panels without breaking the plastic peices. if you do break them you have to replace it. if you work slowly using a flathead screwdriver and carefully pop them out you shouldnt break any

 

Break them?

If my doors were a child I'd have been incarcerated for 3 consecutive life sentences for all the torture I put mine through...but they certainley did not break.

I'll try and get to this tonight.

 

am i missing something here? cause thats what i said

 

bump metal? updates?

 

It seems as though your questions were answered. What other questions are remaining?

 

180-grit sanding followed by a rub-down with denatured alchohol to ensure the spray glue holds true.

You will need to cut all of the thermal-weld grommets along width of the door. You will NOT get the peices back together as one.

I forget the name of it, there are a number of suede UV protectors that work only minimally well. A tintjob is the ONLY thing that will truly absorb UV rays and prevent discoloration. I had done my dash twice and front doors twice...I will need to do the front doors a third time once I get the windows tinted as te sun is just too much for them.

 

how do you put the pieces back together? glue?

 

He didn't.
